Summary
to the mirror dan says, "i am sorry you got stuck with me," to the birds he says, "do you ever feel like your body is not your body?" to phil he says, "could you maybe sit a little further away from me during this video?"

Summary
When the kiss ended, Dan ignored all the applause and pressed their foreheads together, took a breath just to feel the hot spring air swell deep in his lungs, tricked himself into thinking he could inhale Phil if he tried hard enough. When they were this close, so close that Dan could count the frail eyelashes that stuck out from Phil’s translucent eyelids, he forgot himself. Dan Howell became a heart without a body.
or: Dan and Phil have a June wedding.

Summary
When Phil was unconscious Dan wanted to wrap him in his arms, tell him, I’ll be your blood flow, your diagnosis, I’ll be your hedonism. You are the greatest consequence to ever happen to me. But Phil didn’t happen to people. He didn’t inflict himself. He wouldn’t know how to cause damage if it ground itself into his ribs. Not like the earthquake that was Dan Howell.
Or: Daniel Howell never really learned how to relax. (Set during their vacation to Turkey)

Summary
Dan once told him that there is every color star except for green. Green is Phil’s favourite color. Secretly. Even more than blue, but he tells people it’s blue because it’s what they expect from him. Like dark hair. There are never stars in London and no green stars in the universe and if Phil can’t find anything in the night sky how is he ever supposed to gather the stars up to dye them green with the bath towels?
Dan stirs gently but stays asleep. His movement is just further proof that Phil is breaking everything, even the empty shards of cruel ceramic sky.
or: musings on phil’s anxiety, self image issues, and new hair + how dan loves him through it all.
